For the n'th time, another blog, another place with an urge to start something new. Not a compulsive blogger, but It's good to find a place where I can virtually pen down my thoughts. Too lazy to maintain a diary and digital world works wonders, anytime. 

My Saturday was a pretty lazy one. Caught up in a busy world where one needs to work 5 days in odd shift timings, that reverse your biological clock and then watch your weekend slip by as you wrestle to get out of bed and do something. I am undergoing a phase of changer; Personally & Professionally. Life has never seemed so bountiful. My personal changes are now taking on a new direction, after I picked up this book today by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It's called - You'll see It when you believe it. And If most youthful people thought that this is the book one ought to read in their late 30's or 40's, then you're slowing your process of inner transformation. I have only finished reading the first chapter and started highlighting text which I would love to come back to, in one of these days. To quote one of them that I enjoyed - 

I know now that my circumstances do not make me what I am, but that they reveal who I've chosen to be.



Dr. Wayne explains the difference between form (our physical self) and our being (the inner self), stressing how the majority of us get stuck to the form and ignore the inner being that needs our attention in order to find true happiness and peace within. I think you should read the book to find out for yourself. 

In addition, I also picked up two other books - Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom & A brief history of time by Professor Stephen Hawking, something I wanted to own for quite sometime now. My only challenge is being able to finish these books. I am not an avid book reader but I watch many people around me read books of different subjects. Don't get me wrong ! I am not buying books to read out of peer pressure but simply because I have never really given myself enough time to enjoy reading a book. With the virtual world on a sprawl to take over mankind, I think these are the very little things we, digital-bound earthlings can do to maintain a sense of realism. 

Tomorrow is a day I would start off by visiting the cop station. For a felony of not applying for my passport much earlier. My career is taking a bright direction. I am getting back to my previous profession of being, what most people call - A glorified waitress A.K.A A flight attendant, with Qatar airways. It's been a long process starting with the interviews and then the various others formalities and test, but the future seems rewarding and bright. After I quit my job with Kingfisher Airlines, almost a year ago, I thought I'm the gal who would do pretty well On-Ground than On-Air. Most of my ex-colleagues continued flying international and I would see them travel all around the world and live their dreams. Traveling is one thing I have a big appetite for. So, after almost a year, planned on giving a shot at an interview with QA and to my surprise and blessings, made it all the way. The only thing that's putting a tab on any progress at the moment is my passport. I never felt the need to get one for years and when opportunity came knocking on my door, my world turned topsy-turvy and here I am, running around spending almost all of my salary on getting a passport as quickly as possible. A word of advise to everyone out there - Do Not Procrastinate. Remember that ol' saying - A Stitch in time, saves Nine. Only in my case, It would save lots of rupees. Sigh !  hence the cop station, asking a few good men from the department to help speed up my verification process. 



And the only other thing I did most of the day was click snaps with my brand new camera ( I will be posting the pictures soon). Photography bug has bitten me hard. I am spending most of my time learning new things, which I never thought I'd learn, about photography. Talk about a hobby. 

That's all for now. Hoping to blog very soon. Adios !
